What more could a citizen want in a presidential candidate? (Yeah, I know. Had she been an American Idol contestant it would have made her a shoe-in, but you can't have everything.)I almost forgot. Being 'the smartest woman in the world' (the masses will lend their memories only to the thousandfold repetition of the most simple ideas … Mein Kampf) doesn't hurt. either.

SEX, LIES AND SOCK PUPPETS:
QUESTION: When was the last time you observed "the smartest woman in the world"2 partake in our process of political discourse, or, as Charles Kuralt once put it, relish in "the raucous give and take of American democracy?" ANSWER: Never. Hillary-the-person answers to no one.3 Hillary-the-person never shows her face. Hillary-the-person never talks. Part of the reason is substance-- or more precisely, the lack of it: The clintons are a truly banal bunch. But, as the husband amply demonstrates, banality, in and of itself, is not a nonstarter if you have a semblance of style. But, sadly, missus clinton doesn't have that, either. The upshot of all this vacuity are positive numbers for hillary (such as they are) that are inversely related to appearance frequency, and, more specifically, inversely related to the following mouth variables: magnitude of agape, amplitude and frequency of effluvia.4 The bottom line is this paradox: In order for hillary clinton to have any chance of winning elections, she must all but vanish from the public stage.5 If the problem has already taken root, she plants false news stories about it. (Missus clinton's sorry sock-puppet status falls into this category.) 6 It is only when her power, treasure or freedom appears in imminent danger does she deign7 to put the lie10 in our face herself.8
HOW THE CLINTONS ARE HANDLING THE HILLARY DUD FACTOR 4
FALSE
TRUE
illary-the-person isn't running. The idea of hillary is, the idea of hillary as put out on a daily basis by all manner of proxy, from simple spinner to elaborate Hollywood production.1
